That bust isn't even of Aurelius.

It's not easy being the Emperor, especially if you try to be a good man as well.

All I know that about the man in OP is the disdain for plebs meme. Who is he?

do you mean by standards today, or the standards of their contemporaries? Things like "ideal breast size" have changed a lot over time.

Either way, the answer is "not all of them."

>>286130
Yes. Kind of.

I don't know, but when I look at old photos of famous and beautiful women pre-1950s, they were all supposed "gorgeous and to die for", yet they all kinda looked lumpy and homely.

They had nice smooth skin, and symmetrical features, but nothing extraordinary. Compares to the likes of Scarlett Johannson or Jennifer Love Hewitt, women of past were downright butterfaced.

>>286138
I specifically said shit like facial features, skin, etc.
Not body shape.
>>286145
Yeah that's my idea too.

Having better armour than everyone else really helps.

Many did die actually, Harold Godwinson was shot in the eye by an archer

They probably had cloth awnings or something for these, right? Riding in a deckless ship for days or weeks at a time sounds hellish.

Tengriism believes that Tengri is the supreme god and every other religion is just worshipping a different form of Tengri

>>285802
Only abrahamic religions seem to have the need of impose their desert god everywhere they go.

He, like every sensible pagan ruler ever, didn't persecute other faiths that didn't challenge his authority. It doesn't make sense.

Yes. American economic aid had a HUGE effect on the South Korean economy.

Miracle on the Han river my ass.

>>285765
I understand that South Korea benefited tremendously from the Vietnam War. It was actually, somehow, poorer than the North after the Korean War.

>inb4 geography

It's indeed geography, but rather than just resources it's the fact it's separated from the rest of the planet by two oceans. The only neighbor that ever posed any threat, Mexico, got stomped to fuck in the early to mid 19th century and since then it was easymodo.

Can't really be compared to Russia which got repeatedly buttfucked from all sides over the last 1000 years.

>>285651
What about Brazil then?
Also there's a ton of other big countries that have been pretty much isolated. And the USA wasn't actually isolated. They fought wars against Britain and the rest of the world.

Domination of sacred space, a particularly Frankish expression of Christianity in which the more Classical tradition of many religions existing alongside (if subservient) to the leading faith with their own religious buildings were replaced with the idea that a religious people could not be pure and their land not sacred if corrupted with non-(Frankish) Christian relics, temples, or people.

That and diplomatic supremacy of the papacy over the princes of Europe, creating alliances directed against enemies of the Church.

Over time it became a tradition for young knights and nobles to emulate their heroic ancestors.

>>285601
Pretty much this
Not forgetting the attempt to extend papal influence eastwards

For the Byzantines: Getting land back

For the pope: Mending the schism, >>285601, >>285811

For the nobles: Faith, money, land, prestige and influence.

For the people: Faith, absolution, prospect of loot perhaps.

There was a romance continuum in the parts of the roman empire where greek was not well established enough as a lingua franca to prevent it.

With the arrival of people from the north-east, the area of eastern europe was mostly slavified. This happaned even in places where the rulers were altaic, not slavic, like bulgaria. I don't know why in eastern europe slavic languages became dominant while germanic languages didn't in the west (except in Britain). I don't know either why in romania and other areas romance survived.

The case of hungarian is just because the magyars were steppe nomads. The area of modern hungary is good for this kind of people, with huns and avars also chosing this land to become the center of their empires. While mainly turkic in this time period and afterwards, the confederations of the steppes also included peoples from other origins and different language.

>>285580
Do they really speak english in Uganda though? Or is it a meme official language chosen for a meme country with no national unity?
